Warning: these pages are content-rich (a lot of text, and some graphics-size
is currently 90kb). Average size is 30k-50k but some are as large as 200k,
so they may take a while to load. Please be patient!

If you see the date changing on this page, without an announcement in this
section, it is probably something like fixing minor coding problems, spelling
errors, minor layout changes, new page on this site (so I changed bottom index),
... Any major changes to this page, will be announced here.

July 18, 2005. I just noticed that the ezBoard message board that
I had set up for this web site had been deleted. Since restoration of the
deleted conference is only available to subscribers to their service, and
since the activity was relatively light, I not planning on looking for
another message board. If you do think a message board is worth while,
or you have a message board that you like, let me know and I may
promote it here. As always you can contact me
here.

March 25, 2005 Occasionally surf / instrumental bands ask me to help
them promote their shows. At this time, I am helping with web sites for
Insect Surfers,
Boardwalkers,
MiGs,
and the Rick Lawndale Band. You can go to the
individual band sites for their upcoming show information.

When bands / groups I don't do web sites for, ask for help promoting a show,
the shows will be listed here also.

For example:

I was recently asked by the International Surfing Museum in Huntington Beach
to help them contact surf bands for the free shows they will be putting on
for the 2005 season. I was able to help them out, so I will also be listing
the show for this season as I become aware of them.

October 5, 2004 Here is an interesting recent article on surf music.
NC Times
They Called It Surf: 40 Years After It's Peak, Genre Still Rides Wave of Popularity

The Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum is open daily with
summer hours from 12 noon to 5 Pm on weekdays and 9 to 5 on weekends.
Admission is $2.00 for adults, $1.00 for students and children under 6
are free.

Since I seem to be associated with surf music, and I have collected more than
a few links to bands that play surf/instrumental music, I figured that these
links deserve their own page.

My association with surf music continues to grow. Since I have been audio
recording surf bands (mostly, although I do record all kinds of music),
some bands have started using my recordings in
commercial releases.
I have also started doing an internet radio show,
Chrome Oxide Hour
where I feature many of my recordings of the bands I am taping currently.

You might want to check here regularly, as I will be adding URLs as I come
across them at various shows, in magazines, ...

This list of URLs is in a vaguely alphabetical order. Any
additions/corrections/deletions to this list will be greatly appreciated.

Because of the nature of the internet, even though these URLs were correct
when I originally started working on this page, they may no longer be accurate.
Therefore, any additions/corrections/deletions to this list will be greatly
appreciated.

I am also interested in getting wider exposure for this site. So links from
your site to mine would be appreciated. And if you know of any sites that
allow/encourage submission, I would also appreciate knowing about them as
well.

Do you have any articles, books, albums, tapes, CDs, ... on this band that
you would like reviewed and / or integrated into this page?

Do you have any other band that you would like to see a page for on this
site?

December 10, 2002.
Back in October 1999 I put up links to CD-Now so that visitors could easily
link to the related band pages and instantly see which items were still in
print/available for purchase. CD-Now no longer has that option. For the moment
I am putting in Amazon.com search boxes. Amazon.com doesn't easily allow for
links to individual band pages in the same way that CD-Now used to. So, instead
of me being able to create direct links, I have put up the Amazon.com search box
instead. So you can still go to a page with the various bands products, buy you
now need to go through a search box.

As always, let me know what you think.
